What’s included in our geography homeschool curriculum

Discover a World of Learning Together

Explore physical and political geography through hands-on activities, including map drill, mapwork, and creative mapmaking. Create personalized maps documenting each country, with supplemental activities inspired by How to Make Hand-Drawn Maps. Each country study includes a mapwork activity and other resources to help students understand mapping techniques, geographical features, and political boundaries.

Students are introduced to the rich traditions of storytelling through Circle Round folk tales, with narration encouraged to deepen understanding. Each country study includes recommended books and discussion guides. Judith Hochman’s The Writing Revolution supports writing skills, with sentence strategies that connect geography, culture, and history. Additionally, Making Words, a hands-on spelling activity, strengthens phonemic awareness and reinforces vocabulary.

Through living books, explore the rich history of each region by discovering ancient civilizations, renowned explorers, and the diverse indigenous cultures that have shaped the world. Study the monumental achievements of historical figures such as Mansa Musa, whose legendary pilgrimage to Mecca showcased the wealth and influence of the Mali Empire, or the Inca, whose advanced engineering and agricultural practices helped build one of the largest empires in pre-Columbian America. Learn about Alexander von Humboldt, the pioneering explorer and naturalist whose extensive travels across the Americas laid the groundwork for the study of geography, climate, and ecosystems.

Explore the diverse biomes, ecosystems, and wildlife that are found throughout the world, from the towering mountains shaped by tectonic plates to the lush rainforests of South America and vibrant coral reefs of the Caribbean.

Explore the world through hands-on crafts and projects inspired by global traditions. Create Huichol yarn paintings from Mexico, learn the technique of Aboriginal dot art from Australia, and try your hand at Chinese calligraphy.

Additionally, dive into world music and dance with Carnegie Hall’s Musical Explorers program. Experience the rhythms of son jarocho with the Villalobos Brothers from Mexico, the lively beats of Cumbia from Colombia.

Food is an essential part of culture, and with our Cooking Class: Global Feast section, your children will experience the world through flavors and traditions. We use the book Cooking Class: Global Feast as our primary guide, providing easy-to-follow, kid-friendly recipes from around the world.

For countries not featured in the book, we carefully select authentic recipes based on popular regional dishes or those tied to our literature studies, ensuring a meaningful connection between what children read and what they cook.

To make this experience even more interactive, families receive a customizable cookbook template page. Children are encouraged to write down each recipe, take a photo of their finished dish, and document their journey, creating a personalized “Global Explorers Cookbook” as they explore different cultures through food.

Learning through play is a key part of our curriculum! Traditional games from around the world bring history and culture to life in an engaging, hands-on way. Your children will discover and play games enjoyed by kids across different countries.

Each unit includes step-by-step instructions and materials lists, making it easy to incorporate these activities into your homeschool routine. Whether it’s a strategy game from Africa or a centuries-old board game from Asia, these activities foster critical thinking, teamwork, and cultural appreciation.

Each continent bundle includes Montessori-inspired supplemental math activities that connect to real-world scenarios. Market Math Task Cards provide a fun way to practice money skills. With Infinity Street, children explore place value through a fun, visual representation of numbers. Finally, our Elapsed Time Task Cards transport students to exciting locations around the world as they solve time-related challenges. These activities offer a meaningful, multicultural approach to math that enhances learning and deepens students’ understanding of key practical math concepts.

Each country study focuses on a specific virtue, such as compassion, perseverance, or respect, drawing inspiration from Maria Montessori’s Cultural Studies component. These virtues are tied to stories, activities, and discussions, helping students understand the values that shape different societies. Using resources like the Virtues Project Educators’ Cards, students are encouraged to explore these values through real-world examples, fostering both personal growth and cultural awareness.

Our curriculum is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to tailor your child’s learning experience to fit your preferred homeschooling approach, whether it’s Charlotte Mason, Montessori, unit studies, or an eclectic mix.

With our Notion planning tool, you can easily organize lessons, track progress, and customize activities to suit your family’s unique rhythm. The open-ended structure ensures that you can explore different countries in any order and move at a pace that works best for your homeschooling journey.
